Douglas is preparing an rpm with all the bits needed to run an activation server -- for the initial at-boot- activation only scenario -- on the XS.
This is meant to work with an AA (active antenna), but looking at the python code in the initrd, I wonder whether an AP or a machine with a wlan interface set to ad-hoc can also be used. See: def select_network_channel (channel): check_call(['/sbin/iwconfig','eth0','mode','ad-hoc','essid','dontcare']) check_call(['/sbin/iwconfig','msh0','channel',str(channel)]) check_call(['/sbin/ifconfig','msh0','up']) # rely on ipv6 autoconfig ... With this setup, will the XO also send the frames over conventional 802.11a/b/g or not at all? OTOH, large deployments wanting to activate XOs in a warehouse can get an AA without much trouble. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
